D:) Inflammatory/vesicular tinea pedis
Painful, pruritic vesicles or bullae, most often on the instep or anterior plantar surface, characterize the inflammatory/vesicular type.
The lesions can contain either clear or purulent fluid; after they rupture, scaling with erythema persists.
Cellulitis, lymphangitis, and adenopathy can complicate this type of tinea pedis.
